This is about institutions, not just Trump, because of what, and who, is likely to follow in the footsteps of his victory. He and his team are incompetent, and yet still managed to win. What happens when a far more charismatic and capable candidate comes along using these nationalist, autocratic techniques? What if that candidate is on the left, not the right, and so has the ideological sympathy of most of the press? Would Trumpian, autocratic rhetoric be so harshly condemned if it were in favor of universal health care and directed against Fox News? I'm skeptical.
